Linux debugging toolkit

Install

emisar pack install validates the pack and verifies its content hash before copying it into /etc/emisar/packs. The --hash below pins the install to the exact bytes on this page — a tampered copy is rejected. After install, reload the runner; it re-reads the catalog and advertises every action.

content hash: sha256:94c5c94553e8a408410a4692e2c7427f265bf3944a18ece7f7b18114c7491d22

sudo emisar pack install debugging \
  --hash sha256:94c5c94553e8a408410a4692e2c7427f265bf3944a18ece7f7b18114c7491d22 \
  --dest /etc/emisar/packs

# Reload so the runner re-reads the catalog:
sudo systemctl reload emisar
